The man tasked with developing the San Bernardino International Airport has been charged with perjury, conspiracy to commit grand theft and presenting false documents as evidence.

Prosecutors said Monday that Scot Spencer, who was hired to redevelop the former Norton Air Force Base, was arrested Sunday in Boca Raton, Fla. An investor and alleged co-conspirator, Felice Luciano, was at large.

Authorities say Spencer is a convicted felon who has served prison time for bankruptcy fraud.

The arrest was made by members of a special multi-agency task force formed in 2010 to investigate corruption in San Bernardino County.
